Case Study: Fife Fabrications achieves up to 65% lead time reduction with Epicor ERP

Reduces lead times by up to 65% with Epicor

Fife Fabrications (FiFab) is a Fife, UK–based subcontract manufacturer with over 40 years’ experience in precision sheet metal. Faced with rising demand and shrinking customer lead times, the company’s 20‑year‑old green‑screen DOS ERP—supported offshore—couldn’t provide the visibility or flexibility needed, causing time and materials waste and slowing quote‑to‑cash processes.

FiFab implemented Epicor ERP to deliver automated MRP, live scheduling and dashboards that drive quote‑to‑cash transparency and exception‑based management. The change cut order‑to‑job lead times by up to 65% (from 10+ working days to 1–2), achieved 98% on‑time delivery, and provided live KPI reporting—freeing staff to focus on productivity and supporting continued investment and growth.
